Default 1928 Yankee ball---14 sigs---BUT---

Posted By: Fred Y

Todd---You hit the nail on the head! It has to be Rosy Ryan!

With the help of a friend, we discovered the same thing & I was coming back to report such!

What are the odds of the Yankees having a Blondy Ryan & Rosy Ryan playing for them in the space of 7 yrs!

I found Blondy Ryan so easy that I never checked the Almanac Roster, I just pursued the name! Never occurred to me their might have been another Ryan!

Andrew--

That was most of the problem---The sig on the ball is so light even my friend selling the ball couldn't read it--and she thought the JSA worksheet said "Blondy Ryan", which it may have in error!

She also thought the 1st letter on the ball looked like an R, which would fit Rosy!

Mystery solved!

Thanks to all for the help & the comments!
